Geology
Volcanic activity during the Upper Cretaceous Period about 70 million years ago produced the basalt flows and trachyte plugs of the local area. The main activity was centered 16km west of Yeppoon where there is an area of gently undulating basalt derived black soil plain and 14 trachyte plugs. These plugs are steep sided protrusions roughly circular in shape. Double Head is a duplex trachyte plug. The Western Peak is 82m above sea level and exhibits some of the best columnar jointing to be seen in Queensland. The Eastern Peak is 70m above sea level and contains the blowhole formed by the collapse of the roof of a seacave. Fan Rock comprises numerous spectacular hexagonal columns formed when rock fractured as lava, cooled beneath the volcano.
